Aishwarya Rai’s Name Used In “Lamhaa” As A Metaphor
When the movie “Lamhaa” was sent to the Censor Board for its final screening, there was some controversy for the usage of dialogues in the film. Now, it has again captured everyone’s attention due to Aishwarya’s name used as a metaphor in a dialogue. The movie talks about Aishwarya Rai, when Anupam Kher, a Kashmiri separatist leader in the film says : “When Aishwarya Rai is unable to see the moon, it makes news. But, why doesn’t the media reports the plight of those thousands of Kashmiri wives who haven’t seen their husbands for years?”
Phew!!! That makes my blood start boiling. Anyways, Of course the director and other guys have their own justification for the dialogue. Let’s see…
Rahul Dholakia, director of the movie says, “The dialogue in the film by the separatist leaders uses Mrs. Rai Bachchan as a metaphor to the Bollywood centric media who prefer covering the personal lives of icons and intrude into their private lives, making breaking news, instead of covering the real life poignant stories of Kashmiri half-widows. The comment is not a slur or an attack on the actress in anyway.”
Bunty Walia, the producer of the movie adds further, “The purpose of the scene was never intended to mock Aishwarya Rai. We would never do anything to hurt anyone’s sentiments.”
Well Bunty, you surely have hurt lot of fans. Your point is justified, but you still did use Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s name. Didn’t you. Any that’s mocking. Shame on you guys.
Anyways guys. I am a little fumed up with this controversy. Hopefully this dialogue will be removed or edited sooner or later. That’s it from my side today. Goodbye and love to all you Aishwarya Rai fans.
